What We Do
Loved by the whole family
Handcrafted Smiles
We take pride in designing natural smiles that last and match your personality and look. We are both teeth people and people people, a perfect combination to ensuring a personalised smile for you. Come in and ask for a tour of our two purpose built facilities in Mt Pleasant and Parkwood that are equipped with state of the art technology, executed by trusted dental practitioners, to ensure you enjoy a handcrafted, convenient and carefree experience. Furthermore, we are open from 7.50 am to 7.50pm most weekdays.
Family Dental
We love seeing whole generations of families from tiny infants all the way to grandparents. We have children’s iPads and prizes to entertain the little ones, entire family visits after school and work for the efficient parent wanting their family healthy and fit, and wheel chair accessible surgeries with easy car parking for elderly. Most importantly, we have the same old fashioned caring team that understand your needs at the different stages of your life.
Preventative Care
Whilst we love making wonderful smile transformations and helping people out of dental trouble, we really love equipping you to be confident in your smile by keeping your own natural teeth healthy, white and beautiful. We believe in regular 6 monthly assessments and supportive maintenance visits to keep your oral health in optimal shape. You can expect comprehensive, well communicated and gentle advice and care from our highly educated team committed to stopping problems before they happen.
Technology Driven Smiles
We are a modern dentist with a twist. We use the healthiest, most natural looking and strongest materials and techniques to breathe life into smiles that may be worn and damaged, tired-looking, crooked and decayed. All this is made possible by our commitment to using the latest in photographic and radiographic imaging technology to communicate and fabricate your teeth conveniently in front of your eyes and on the same appointment.
What We Do
What Sets Us Apart
Same Day Fillings & Crowns
Smile Makeovers
Tired of those huge stained fillings or scared you’ve got more metal than tooth? Crowns are a fantastic way to strengthen your teeth and we have a large variety of options available. We are highly experienced in ceramic crowns and fillings made on the very same day using our special Cerec machine. Say good-bye to repeat appointments and uncomfortable and messy impressions. Using this technology we can do both small simple treatments, right up to entire smile make-overs.
In a nutshell, we use advanced dental computers, scanners and fabrication technology to make these white ceramic fillings and crowns. We firstly remove the old filling and decay, optimally designing your tooth to last. We then take digital images of the tooth using a special intraoral camera which builds a 3-d model on our computers. We design your filling or crown on this computer, send it to a diamond coated milling machine that carves it out of a very strong and very good looking ceramic block, ready to be coloured, baked in a furnace and polished and cemented in your mouth.
Watch this short clip and see how we actually hand craft your teeth and smile to match you, using this Photogenic in-house Technology!
We think that photogenic smiles are natural smiles. That’s why we work with you to hand craft and personalize every tooth, filling and veneer. We’re not all about perfection but we are passionate about giving you a confident and comfortable smile. Using advanced photographic technology our aim is to use the strongest and healthiest materials to replace any worn down, broken, decayed or unaesthetic teeth.
We’re so good at matching your new teeth with your natural smile that afterwards we often play the game “pick the new tooth”! The best part about using this technology is you can actually watch your teeth and veneers being hand crafted!

Invisalign are what most people know as ‘clear braces’. They are simply clear retainers that you wear and they correct your teeth placement and smile style according to the technologically simlutated teeth plan our computer shows you!
Ok… It sounds complicated but it’s so easy. You come in and get a mould of your teeth done, our computer then simulates the best possible placement of your teeth on the screen so you can visualize what your smile will look like, and then we get the retainers made up for you. Invisialign is the great way for teenagers, adults and image conscious individuals to receive high end orthodontic treatment without the fuss, potential pain and look of braces. Have a look at our smile gallery to see some incredible before and after examples of friends who have had Invisalign done by us.
Our photogenic technology extends into the latest and safest x-ray systems available. As x-rays are a necessity in nearly all parts of dentistry, we have invested in the most sophisticated dental x-ray equipment that allows us to instantaneously see ‘inside’ your teeth and jaws. We have an in house OPG/Lateral CEPH machine that helps us take images of your entire mouths and jaws. We also have intra-oral devices that give up close and magnified x-rays. We also use professional DSLR cameras to capture high-resolution images of your mouth so you can see exactly what we see when we look inside. What does this all mean for you? High-resolution photos and crystal-clear x-rays with the lowest radiation exposure ensuring the best, most timely diagnosis and treatment for you. Another unique way Photogenic Dental is able to communicate and deliver excellent dental treatment.
Unknown things can be very scary. All the noises, the feelings, the uncertainty and the pain, can be very overwhelming at the dentist. From clearly communicating what we are doing, to distracting you with a television you can watch whilst we treat you, to always striving to be as gentle, loving and caring as possible, we hope to go the extra mile in helping you feel comfortable at the dentist. We find it extremely fulfilling when people break through their fears of the dentist and move forward with confidence in their dental health. Furthermore, we offer Nitrous Oxide ‘Laughing Gas’ sedation and on request ‘Twilight’ sedation for our clients who still need that added help to get that photogenic smile. Please call us to find out more about the sedation services we offer for highly anxious clients or clients requiring extensive dental work or wisdom teeth surgery.
At Photogenic Dental, we really enjoy seeing kids grow up under our care. From losing their first baby teeth, to having their first check up and clean to having their teeth straightened with Invisalign, we consider it a great privileged to see children mature to adults. It’s even more amazing when we see their children come to see us as their dentist. We especially love seeing children early, so we can show them all the ‘fun’ tools we use at the dentist, let them feel all the instruments that we use in chasing ‘tooth bugs’ away, and actively involve them in the check ups of their older brothers and sisters. We often have mums tell us how much their kids LOVE the dentist and can’t wait to see us again. Trust us to build your children’s confidence at the dentist and to watch over their dental growth and orthodontic needs.
Are your teeth discoloured from too much tea, coffee, smoking or curry? Have you got that special event coming up that you’d like a nice shiny photogenic smile for?
Teeth whitening is a great, quick and simple way of improving your smile. We offer faster more effective in chair whitening solutions for those up close profile photos and easy to use, cost effective take home options to suit your timetable. Results may vary for every individual. Chat to one of our friendly dentists to see if your teeth are suitable for whitening as some pre existing dental treatments may effect the result.
Let Us Help You
Extraction is simply a scary word for the removal of problematic teeth. This could include wisdom teeth, broken teeth, loose, painful or infected teeth. Depending on the difficulty of your sore tooth we can usually get it sorted on that day in the chair. Otherwise, we offer an in house sedation alternative with our highly trained dental surgeons for the more complicated wisdom teeth or extensive surgical treatments required. Also, if it is an important smiling tooth, we often can work out a replacement for you immediately. So never fear, we understand all your concerns and you can trust us to look after you and your smiling desires.
We hope you never lose any teeth! However, if you have, never fear. We have solutions for you. If you need to fill that gap in your smile or get some teeth to eat with, there are a variety of options available for you that range.
Dentures are removable plates that replace from as little as 1 or as many as all teeth in your mouth. Bridges aren’t removable, and they involve fixing the missing teeth to teeth either side of your gap. Lastly, there are implants that are titanium screws inserted into your jaw bone with tooth like crowns attached to them.
Come and see us, and we can recommend you the best option for you.
At the centre of every tooth is a nerve and a blood supply-what some might call the ‘heart’ of the tooth’. Sometimes this heart can die which can cause a lot of pain. Heartbreak always hurts-even in your teeth. Rest assured this kind of heartbreak is easier to fix! If you find yourself in a lot of pain, root canal is an easy 3-visit procedure to get you out of pain and keep you out of pain.
-
Getting you out of pain – after ensuring your tooth is pain and sensation-free with local anaesthetic, we remove the cause of the problem (usually tooth decay or cracks that allow bacteria to infect the nerve of the tooth). We then remove the ‘numbed’ infected nerve in the middle of the tooth, disinfect the canals where the nerves are found with various medicines, and seal the tooth with a new temporary filling. This should do the trick and get you out of pain in no time.
-
Disinfecting the tooth – ranging from a couple of weeks to months after the first visit, we see you again to completely remove the bacteria from the nerve canals and shape them with high-tech rotary tooth files ready to finish the therapy.
-
Keeping you out of pain! When you are symptom free, we finish the root canal by sealing up the disinfected empty nerve canals. We then build the tooth back with a filling and crown. Why a crown? To ensure it is a useful valuable tooth for you for the long haul, as it prevents bacteria getting back in and the tooth breaking under all that food you love to eat.
Do you suffer from headaches, sore jaw muscles, sensitive teeth or regularly breaking fillings? Then you may be grinding your teeth when you sleep. This is super common particularly among people who have busy and sometimes stressful lives.
Thankfully teeth grinding can be treated quickly and simply through the creation of splints. Splints are simply clear, reinforced hard mouth guard style retainers that you wear at night-time to prevent further tooth wear and damage. They also help you stop grinding and as a result, may help relieve the symptoms! Great!
